Habitat: The Field Guide to Decorating

Great coffee table book, some lovely pictures and ideas 👌👌📙📙

Fantastic read! I would recommend this book to anyone that’s interested in interior design. It contains lots of beautiful pictures and great ideas. I just couldn’t put this book down.

The book itself is weighty and divided into 3 parts; elements of design, intangible elements of design and room by room guide, these are then listed with various sub headings. I like this idea but I expected the book to excite me, take my hand and show me a varying wealth of ideas, colours, rich with fabrics, maximalist, minimalist, monochrome etc etc and as much mind spinning, oh ‘that’s a great idea’ type of thing! But.... I’ve just found it a bit.... boring. The photographs seem a bit flat, samey (not sure if that’s a word!) almost as if the book was about one house, one family. Perhaps Lauren Liess wanted that, to encourage you to use the book as a reference to launch yourself off into the wonderful world of interior design and not influence you, but to let you find yourself? Hmmmm.. I’m sure ‘Habitat’ could act as a great guide but sorry it ain’t for me.

Beautiful book and surprisingly practical. The photography is, of course, beautiful. As are the houses pictured. But there's plenty of practical advice in there as well. Really a lovely book.

This is a lovely book and has great content the reason I deducted a star is it’s a little more of a yellow beige than it looks in the photo

Have wanted this book since it came out and finding it both beautiful and useful. Will def get the new one,

Absolutely love this book! It is full of very helpful information such as spacing furniture, height of lighting, timeless materials of fabric, faucets, handles + drawer pulls worth investing in, etc. Great reference for all the renovations we are working on in our home as well as our decor style. Back of book references where to shop for items throughout book. Pictures are gorgeous throughout with muted colors that are earthy and timeless designs. If this is your desired style you will love this book.

Tres beau livre de qualité. De beaux articles, de belles photos... papier de qualite. Un luvre a laisser sur la table du salon pour le lire a volonté!

I found Lauren Liess’ decorating style resonates with my love for natural materials and earthy colours and found the book inspiring. The book is well structured as a guide that appeals not only to those who are decorating/re-decorating their homes but also to those who are building/buying or renovating their homes as it includes useful information and insights also on the architectural elements of the space, for whom it can provide a good foundation. I like the fact that the author addresses both the tangible and the intangible elements of design and found it a good source of inspiration for a decorating refresh for my home and I am sure it will be a useful resource to refer to for advice on how to approach any future renovation/refurbishing project I may undertake. The paper/binding/cover are all of high quality, making it also a good coffee table book. Amazon delivered both this and another high quality book I ordered very quickly and both arrived in pristine conditions.

Excelente!
